Giants Game

Sent from my iPadConnor and Michael got to go to the last Giants game of the season and Connor got Tim Hudson's autograph!

Our start to the summer...

Madeline has been begging to start gymnastics so we signed her up. The pictures show some happy moments, but she wasn't very thrilled with it and did not want to go back. We haven't been successful at getting her to return, but we'll keep trying. Mike had the idea of doing a Parent and Me class because she is much more comfortable if I'm out there with her, so we may try that. Now she wants to try dance...

We visited the Sacramento County Fair and the kids loved petting the animals and riding the rides!

We made a trip to Modesto to celebrate Aunt Lori's 50th birthday. Maddie got some snuggles with Great Grandma Hilda, and the kids swam (in their undies in the pool). Fun day!

Connor took me on a long, adventurous bike ride which ended up at the levee behind our neighborhood. He is so natural on his bike and takes risks that my old body isn't equipped to do! :-)

Mal found this sign for Maddie… fits her perfectly!

Cooling down in the backyard

Trying out the new Disney park in West Sac

Swim lessons began! Maddie and Connor are taking lessons and doing great!

Went to the Wackford Aquatic Center with Mandy's family and had a blast! Connor went off the high dive and completed the Wipeout Obstacle Course 4 times! He's so brave!

Baseball season comes to an end… last games, team party and end of season parade and festivities!

Kindergarten Promotion

Connor recently wrapped up his last week of kindergarten! It went so fast! It was a really tough last week of school (haha!)… Monday was his promotion celebration where he got to perform songs in front of all the families (and he had a special solo part of saying, "Welcome to our kindergarten promotion!") and then go out brunch with our family to his choice, Denny's, Tuesday was BBQ in the park, Wednesday was ice cream day, and Thursday was pajama day for the last day! Tough to be a kid! I couldn't be more proud of him… he received all of the highest marks on his report card and his teacher raved about what a wonderful student and friend he is. Michael and I are so proud of him! He learned so much this year and is leaving kindergarten as a reader, writer, and mathematician (his favorite subject!). 

Baseball season continues...
